What says it's write protected? Win7? There is no physical write-protect hardware on a standard USB flash drive. If the OS decides it's read-only, then you have to tell the OS it's RW. On Linux, you should be able to mount the drive as read/write using the mount command. I have no clue as to how to do it in Windows.

I tri diskpart from windows many times no go. I heard you need to be running the drive from the actual computer that enabled this to disable it. Good luck.
